Why aren't you doing all the talking?
You're asking me the question.
Love that.
Yep.
There we go.
I think kindness, you know, I think kindness is a, you know, the word is used a lot these days, but it's such a crucial facet to a friendship.
And I think, you know, I remember meeting someone, not meeting, but my neighbour, one of my neighbours in Suffolk, and she said to me, you know, when are you going to make another book?
And I said, I don't know really.
This is two or three years ago.
I always remember and she said, you know, I teach kids sometimes who have come from really tough backgrounds and your book gave them permission to be kind.
And I'll always remember that for many, but for many with not least the fact they needed permission to be kind as if it was something they shouldn't do because it's not cool or it's weak or, um, and kindness is, is the, it's such a strength.
In the same breath, you know, I did hear, I'm buying a lot of stories, but I did hear once of a tiny act of kindness shown by a teacher to a pupil who had decided to not live anymore.
And this was her last lesson.
And 15, 20 years later, she was back at the school.
He was retiring.
She had a child at the school.
And she said to him, do you remember me?
And he said, no.
And she reminded him who she was and she said, I just want to say thank you because you did a tiny thing that was enough to keep me here.
You were kind for 10 seconds.
